Polygon (MATIC) co-founder Mihailo Bjelic and Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin appear to be debating the suitability of having Verkle Trees on Ethereum with the former opposing the idea.
Is Verkle Tree Needed For Ethereum?
The debate between the duo took place on the X app, and it suggests that there are uncertainties surrounding Ethereum and its data storage for optimal functionality.
It started with Bjelic wanting to know if switching Ethereum to Verkle Trees was the right step to make. To make his argument, the crypto boss highlighted that zk-fication of the current Ethereum network is quite likely in the near future.
